I had been planning on purchasing a spray booth for quite some time. I finally took the plunge and got it set up in my reorganized hobby room. (See last post for reorganization) The booth is portable and sets up pretty easily. I have the complete venting hose so I can run it outside with only a small window crack, which is important when you are living in Canada and it is winter.
My initial reactions are quite positive. The things that strike me conclusively are:
-
better air quality (a major plus!)
-
better visibility with the light attachment
-
less overspray
I have only used it twice, but have felt good about it. There are some things it doesn’t do. It doesn’t:
-
improve the way I mix the paint and set the air pressure–improperly mixed paints and incorrect settings cause splotches and poorly atomized paint spray.
-
improve my painting technique–practice makes perfect
-
hide my mistakes–you’ll notice that I didn’t use the macro lens.
I certainly don’t regret my decision. I have other areas to improve upon, but having the right equipment is not a mistake.
Nice.

Where did your purchase the spray booth? I'm looking at picking one up in Toronto somewhere.

I got mine through Amazon.ca. (Through Deal Kings). The only place I could find it in Toronto was at Sunward Hobbies 2700 Dufferin–between Eglinton and Lawrence. They are going out of business and are offering 30% off–call before you go as they might be sold out. (416-241-4500) Their price was almost the same as Amazon's best price–I chose the one with the exhaust.
